Key result
Using an anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room significantly lowered non-operative times, an effect influenced by human and structural factors like surgeon switches.
Why the study?
Does the use of an anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room shorten non-operative time in surgical patients?
Observational (n=18,751)

Does the use of an anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room shorten non-operative time in surgical patients?
The use of an anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room shortens non-operative time, though efficiency is negatively impacted by staff switches and non-elective cases.
May shorten non-operative times with induction rooms; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Mulier et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Surgeries (n=18,751). Use of anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room vs. No use of anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room was evaluated on Non-operative time (time between end of previous surgery and incision of next surgery). Using an anaesthesia preparation room as an induction room significantly lowered non-operative times, an effect influenced by human and structural factors like surgeon switches.
